Dear Carrie,
I wish you would be satisfied this week to receive no letter
from me, but knowing you would not, and having sent merely a postcard
last week, do not dare to repeat the process. Received this week the
papers from home containing the accounts of the Queen Mab entertainment, but I am anxious to hear from you a personal account, and also of
the Governor's reception which Mamma merely mentioned in her last.
Our reviews have been lengthened, making our
received no answer, but hope that "silence gives consent" and that my
suit has prospered with our worthy Faculty. The first and last studies
are only half, so that my work will net be greater than this semester,
especially as I have risen from position of Vice to President of our chapter, and so will have nothing to do. Not long ago Mrs. Livermore lectured here, but I believe I wrote you of It
and can find nothing, neither can the most gossippy of my parlor-mates
tell me anything. Therefore with my best love I bid you adieu, hoping that
February will bring me a more fluent pen than its dying predecessor has
done - J.
